Last night, over 30 Community Members joined us in near unanimous opposition toLAPD‘s implementation of body-camera technology, questioning the policy and offering alternatives and solutions for police accountability.

The LAPD has recently committed to purchasing body cameras from TASER International. Chief Beck is determined to keep this footage out of public view. We at the StopLAPDSpying Coalition don’t believe that more technology and more resources towards US police will stop their reckless killings of black and brown youth. Such resources should be sent into programs which build-up poor communities rather than criminalize them and turn them into occupied zones. Join us at 6pm TONIGHT for the second Police Commission meeting for public comment.
